VGC Teambuilding Help: Optimizing Mega Eelektross Teams

hi! i posted about a month ago trying to build around mega eelektross, and i've done a lot of experimenting and research since. worth noting i'm very much a noob to vgc, so i haven't had any experience with competitive teambuilding prior to the past couple months. it was suggested i focus my eel on sp atk, and while the coverage there has occasionally been helpful, i ultimately enjoy the phys advantages i've gotten with it having access to stomping tantrum and rock slide.

despite everything though, it seems no matter what i do, i'll get a nice win streak going until i hit the upper ultra tier and it's like i start getting taken down left and right. my biggest issues right now, i think, are my lack of real defenses besides setting up aurora veil + my lack of actually good counters to bulky steel types like archaludon and mega golisopod. i also struggle a lot with psych terrain -> expanding force users that outspeed me, and char y users who actually know what they're doing.

pictured are the 3 team comps i've been alternating between. is there an ideal way to reconsolidate them into something more coherent?

i do have some other faves that are worth considering in making the ultimate build(s), there's just so many that i haven't found a place for them lol: hydreigon, aggron, absol, umbreon, dragalge, and gliscor. i'm also willing to try out golisopod for myself, it's for sure a cool mon.

Mastering Greninja: VGC Team Building & Strategy Tips

so every season I reach between master ball 4 and 2 and then I like building nonsense with Pokemon I like or Pokemon that I think that can have potential if used right. my favourite Pokemon oat is greninja and this team actually works quite well against meta threats.

can anyone help me build another greninja team or with a Pokemon that has good a good niche/potential?

I'm currently running a pincurchin/indeedee(f)/alolan raichu core team which is actually working quite well.

TL;DR i like greninja, please help me make a funny team for him :)

(feel free to critique/make fun of my team lol)

Raichu y Staraptor team help

Team feels good but having trouble with some matchups especially faster teams
Feels like I'm missing a way for me to currently deal with fast teams as Staraptor feels inconsistent at setting tailwind up
Also the mence + farig/tsareena is hard for the team as it outspeeds Staraptor tailwind setting and blocks ice shard
My default play is fake out user+ghol/bax setting up 1 of them and sweeping with a cleanup mega at the back

I've tried switching out bax for sneasler with unburden grassy seed but the fence matchup feels impossible that way as rock slide does very underwhelming dmg to it
Also tried switching ghold and rilla for Indeedee m and sneasler which felt ab as good but had the same problems and disabled me from using priority as well
Any help would be welcome

Building a Competitive Hydreigon & Aegislash VGC Team

I'm looking to build a team around a Hydreigon/Aegislash core, since that feels pretty strong against the current Psyspam meta. I'm looking to use it on the ladder, and bring it to a local tourney I'm going to in two weeks. This is what I have so far, but I have no attachment to any of the team besides the two I mentioned, everything else could be replaced. I just put it together quickly, and it feels okay to play, but it could be a lot better. Does anyone have any good recommendations for teams that work well with this duo?

Mega Bax Screens Team Guide | Pokémon VGC Strategy

Mega Bax goes well into Zard Y and other fire core teams.

A-Slash gets enabled bc of the high base defenses, and can setup at least 1 SD.

Keys setup screens to let Bax and ASlash take more hits

Rilla is used to win Terrian wars and help reduce damage from EQuake. As well as getting Fake Out pressure

Sneasler helps with my fake out pressure, and helps take down protects ( i doubt sneasler is a permanent member )

Pelli’s job is too take down Sun and Sandstorm, prevent spread moves ( also might get changed out )

Tailwind and TRoom don’t really fit here because Bax and ASlash both benefit from moving last,
